I think it’s better to leave Jaws alone too at this point. Although yeah, please god no, no E.T. or Close Encounters sequel ever. Jaws can survive shitty sequels without retroactively ruining it but I’m not sure the same can be said about those movies.

Oddly enough, there was already a Muppet Babies episode to that effect. They even used some actual footage from Raiders and Temple of Doom, since Jim Henson was besties with Lucas and Spielberg apparently.

Wasn’t he going to make The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara next? I would have rather seen that than these.

He doesn’t look or sound anything like Ford and he’s now OLDER than Ford was when he first donned the hat and jacket...that’s the bigger issue. Personally I’m not such a huge fan of Pratt’s “action star” roles (and his persona is very different from Ford’s, anyway) but regardless, he wouldn’t work in the role at this…

Mattis is belligerent and at the very least complicit in any number of war crimes (hellooooo Mukaradeeb wedding party massacre). Comparatively to the types of people generally nominated to his position, sure, he’s probably not too much worse than average anyway, but again, that’s not saying much given how low the…

The fact that we are at a point where neocon monsters like Tillerson and Mattis are considered “level-headed” speaks a lot to how fucked we are as a country.

Not really.

WWII was a justified war where we unfortunately sometimes had to make hard choices and do otherwise terrible things. (Though that doesn’t excuse some of our actions, e.g. internment of Japanese Americans.) The wars we’ve fought over the last 16ish years are not like WWII, to put it kindly. The civilians that are dying…

Well I mean ANY amount is too many. I just don’t think it’s actually a large proportion or number, all told. And there are some examples in recent year where that has actually been true with fandoms, but in the case of the Star Wars “controversies” it’s really been at most extremely exaggerated by outlets like these.

I’m not saying they don’t exist; I’m just saying their influence and number have been greatly exaggerated. Whenever you see articles about how The Last Jedi has been divisive with fans that’s always the lede, that a bunch of misogynist whiners hated it because a woman starred in it. I’m sure that’s true for some…

Alright, well lay off the drugs, buddy

When did I say I had evidence disproving it? I even went as far as to say it wouldn’t really surprise me. The point is simply that as of now it appears to be an unsubstantiated rumor. The only real evidence is a blog that speculated about it. It’s by definition not something there is any actual evidence for one way or…

In the middle of moving last year, I’d already packed non-essentials like my Blu-Rays, but then I realized I needed a break and felt like watching Raiders of the Lost Ark.

No problem! It’s on Hulu.

After a couple minutes I realized it was the zoomed in 16:9 version. Not only was it incomplete, it looked HORRIBLE. It was…

I’m not a Kirk Douglas fanboy by any means, but what exactly is the evidence that he raped Natalie Wood? It’s known that SOMEONE did, but all I’ve ever seen was that there was some blog someone wrote where it was made to look like (or at least everyone thought it was) Robert Downey Jr. writing it until he said it…

Ah yeah that makes sense. I mean even still, it kind of strikes me as something someone did as a joke, though if they bothered to put it on Torrent sites maybe not. But like, why even create something, admit it is really bad, and still try to entice people to look at it unless you’re purposefully wasting their time? I…

Well on the plus side, I assume it had to be redubbed for Saudi Arabian audiences, which I’m sure was the perfect opportunity to replace TJ Miller with Christopher Plummer.

I’ll....show my self out.

I’ve definitely seen them, but yeah I do think they’re really just an amplified minority. Speaking as someone who loved the movie actually, most of the people I’ve seen criticizing it don’t fall into that category. It seems to just be a thing that sites like this get good clickbait out of, which in itself just serves…

As someone who is pro-feminism but doesn’t necessarily care too much about it in the context of a Star Wars movie specifically, I agree. Rey is a just a good, interesting, bad-ass protagonist in my eyes. There are certainly examples where that has not been the case (I thought Felicity Jones’ character in Rogue One was…

I mean this has to be a troll, though, right? I’m not saying Reddit sexists aren’t this deluded, it’s just that anyone with this kind of editing ability would have to intuitively know that the film would be narratively incoherent at best once you did this. Surely this guy is trolling the rest of those morons? If so…
